Thule, the world leader in sports utility transportation, is introducing the new 2006 Rack-it Science (RIS) sales training program. Thule will award the first 300 shop employees who complete the program with a limited edition Atlantis 1600 rooftop box â€“ with a maximum of two boxes awarded per store location. All associates who complete the program and earn their Rack-It Scientist diploma are offered the opportunity to purchase Thule product at a substantial discount off wholesale pricing. The dedicated RIS website, www.rackitscience.com, is scheduled to go live at 6 pm Eastern Standard Time on Monday March 27th.

â€œWe have always offered an incentive for completing the program, but nothing of this magnitude- we're giving away over $140,000 worth of product,â€ said TJ Hanson, Thule VP of Marketing.

RIS walks perspective Rack-it Scientists through the history of the company, how to complete a sale, the use of the Thule Fit Guide, and an overview of the product line with emphasis on 2006 new products. Through out the presentation RIS applicants are asked a number of questions which they must answer correctly before proceeding to the next section of the program.

â€œWe first introduced Rack-It Science over 8 years ago and it has evolved from being product driven, to a balance between sales techniques and product information,â€ said Steve Doviak, Thule Marketing Manager. â€œFor the latest installment, we have employed Adobe's leading training software MacromediaÂ® BreezeÂ®, which allowed us to create a Flash presentation that seamlessly integrates video, text, voice, animation, and interactive questioning.â€
